Is conservation of momentum valid here though the recoil length is insignificant...
Yes, a torch light will experience a recoil when light is emitted. This is due to the conservation of momentum principle, where the light particles carry momentum and when emitted, the torch will experience an equal and opposite recoil.
The recoil of a torch light does not significantly affect its performance. The force generated by the recoil is very small compared to the force required to emit light, so it does not impact the brightness or functionality of the torch.
Yes, the recoil of a torch light can be measured using specialized equipment such as a ballistic pendulum or a force sensor. These tools can accurately measure the force and direction of the recoil.
Yes, the recoil of a torch light is directly proportional to the intensity of the light emitted. This means that the higher the intensity of the light, the greater the recoil force experienced by the torch.
Yes, the recoil of a torch light will always be in the opposite direction of the emitted light. This is due to Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
